I read up here on the room tips prior to my arrival, and ended up requestin to things from the hotel per email the day before arrival:1. A corner room2. A room on the 10th floor

I ended up getting both! Excellent.

And it was very nice. The theme on the 10th floor is very creative and the room was very quiet. The view however, was pretty disappoiting, but I guess it's only so much you can expect for the price (1750 TWD for elite room at Expedia).

The amneties are pretty good, but there is no body lotion or conditioner, and the shampoo and shower gel are in dispenser boxes, which leaves an unessecary cheap feeling to the stay.

I did also find the breakfast quiet disappoiting. It wouldn't cost much to provide more seasonal fruits for instance. When I came 9:30 it was empty for fruits and it wasn't refilled after what I could see.

Probably the best thing with this hotel is however that they provide free self laundry and free detergent - an excellent offer. I advice future guests to use it in the morning or after midnight as it tend to que up around 9pm until roughly midnight. This makes up for the con's for my part at least.

The staff is also very pleasant and the location is OK. You have to walk up and down some stairs if you're arriving from the train station, so unless you have luggage that is easy to carry, I would consider getting a taxi even though it's only a 5 min walk.

Hotel room is not spacious but it's really a cozy home away from home. Located near Taichung train station with around 3 min of walking. Equipped with everything you need during travelling. Free self-served drink bar and laundry room (free laundry/ dry machines). Business centers/ wifi available. Everything is neat and tidy. Friendly staff. Cost-economic price. Good entertainment program in the rooms. If I need to visit Taichung again, I will definitely book this hotel again.

Room Tip: Elite room is not big but everything you need are available (in room/ borrow-able from reception).

We stayed here for 4 nights. If you are taking the train, this is a convenient location as it's right beside the TRA station. Note that it's not the same as high speed rail station. That is about a few train stops away and you will need to switch.

The rooms were great and it's a good base to explore Taichung.

The only thing we notice in our 23 days travel around Taiwan was that the service staff here were slightly indifferent compared to all the other cityinn and dandy branches we've stayed. Not that it was bad service but it was not your typical city inn warmth and going beyond.

Apart from that, definitely stay here in Taichung.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights from 19/06 to 22/06. My room was one of the smallest i've ever stayed in but easily the most comfy one ever. Floor was fully carpeted and room was well-equipped with everything you need like hairdryer and other amenities. Everything looks modern and sparkling clean to us. Videos on demand are free to watch and i was impressed to notice an 'adult' category available. Only downside was the air-conditioning not being very sensitive to the controls due to cold air flowing in from the lobby, e.g. our room remained cold despite switching it off for a long time.

Hotel has a large area with sofas for you to rest at while waiting to check in with coffee provided. They even provide mouth and facial wash for you to wash up which is a plus point. Laundry room with washing machine and dryer which is free to use is definitely helpful for guests who stay for longer periods.

Location of the hotel is very convenient as it is a 3min walk to Taichung station with plenty of small eateries nearby. Breakfast spread wasn't superb but decent enough.

Service is excellent with hotel staff never failing to greet us with a smile and offering their help in planning our itinerary for the day. Overall, i will definitely come back again if i visit Taichung in the future :)

Note: If you are coming from Taichung station, make sure to exit via the REAR station exit!! If you exit via the front exit, you'll have to carry your luggage up and down flights of stairs to reach the hotel like i did!

Booked into the biggest possible room available for a double bed online. The reservation process was smooth. Got a phone call from the hotel 5 minutes after completing the online booking to verify the details and offer any advice we might want to have. That left a wonderful first impression of the service team.

On arrival the room was smaller that I thought. But with the excellent value price tag we were paying, there are no complaints really. Although the room is not as spacious it has everything needed for a good and refreshing night of rest. Lighting switch panel is located right next to the bed and all lighting could be easily controlled.

Location is good - next to the train station, some bus lines running along the street in front, and a big shopping mall at 5-minutes walk away.

My friend and I stayed here for a night during our 2-day Taichung trip on 1st and 2nd June 2014.

Upon check-in, all the receptionists stood up and greeted us with smiles on their faces. Best part was when they informed us we had a free room upgrade from Economy Room to Elite Room!

The Elite Room was not as big as I expected it to be, and was wondering if the Economy Room would have been very cramped for us if we didn't have the upgrade. However, that was not a big issue for us as we were only staying for a night.

The toilet was clean, neat and had a simple layout. The hotel provided the basic toiletries: toothbrush & toothpaste, comb, razor etc, and also bath and face towels. The shower area had a dispenser for shampoo and body gel (maybe hair conditioner too if I remember correctly).

Lobby area is fantastic. There is a laundry room with washing machines, dryers and a steam iron, all for free! While waiting for the clothes to be washed and dried, there is a common seating area with dispensers for drinks such as coffee/tea. Computers (big screens!) are also available for travel research or even just for leisure use.

The morning breakfast is a buffet-style breakfast. Although it does not provide many dishes, but all of them were delicious! My favourite was the scrambled eggs and Japanese-style curry.

Check-out was smooth and easy. Bonus points added to its location; it is just a 5 minute walk to the rear of Taichung Train Station, so be sure to exit by there if you are arriving in Taichung and checking in to this hotel! :)

All in all, I had a great stay at CityInn in Taichung. I will definitely be back to stay, and will consider staying in the Taipei branches as well!
